How Much Does It Cost to Wrap a Van in the UK
There is no single price, because a small van and a long wheelbase fleet vehicle are worlds apart. Here is what actually changes the cost, how full, partial, modular and DIY compare, and the quickest way to get a real figure for your exact van.
The basics
What changes the price of a van wrap
Five things move the figure more than anything else.
- Size of the van: a long wheelbase, high roof van has far more surface than a small van, so it uses more material.
- How much you cover: a full wrap costs more than a partial wrap or just signage on the key panels.
- Finish: gloss, matte and special finishes are not all priced the same.
- Design: a clean template with your logo costs less than full bespoke artwork from scratch.
- Fitted or DIY: if you fit it yourself there is no labour and no day off the road in the price.
The options
Full vs partial vs modular vs DIY
The same van can be branded four ways, at four different price points.
| Coverage | Relative cost | Best for | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full wrap | The whole van | Highest | Maximum impact or a full colour change |
| Partial wrap | Key panels and graphics | Mid | Strong branding for less |
| Modular wrap | A full look, built from panels | Below a full wrap | Value, fleets, serviceability |
| DIY panel kit | Side and centre panels | Lowest | Tight budgets, fit it yourself |
A modular wrap is the sweet spot for most working vans: the full wrap look, but usually below the cost of a traditional full wrap, and you can swap a single damaged panel later instead of redoing the lot.
On a budget
The cheapest way to brand a van
If the budget is tight, a DIY panel kit is the lowest cost route. We print and cut branded panels for the sides and centre of your van and post them to you to fit yourself, so you carry none of the fitting labour. It is panels rather than full coverage, but it gets your logo, number and message on the road looking sharp for the least outlay.
Why modular wins on value
Where the savings come from
A modular wrap is templated and produced in advance, so there is far less time on the vehicle and far less wasted material than a traditional wrap cut and worked on the bodywork. That is the first saving. The second comes over the life of the van: when a panel is scratched or damaged, we reprint that one panel and swap it, rather than redoing a whole section. For a fleet, that difference adds up fast. See how it works across a whole fleet on our fleet branding page.

Questions
Van wrap cost FAQs
How much does it cost to wrap a van in the UK?
It depends on the size of the van, how much of it you cover, the finish, and whether you go fitted or DIY. A full wrap costs more than a partial wrap, a modular wrap usually comes in below a traditional full wrap for the same coverage, and a DIY panel kit costs the least because you fit it yourself. The honest way to get a real figure is to price your exact make and model, which you can do in the order flow in a couple of minutes.
What is the cheapest way to brand a van?
A DIY panel kit. We print and cut branded panels for the sides and centre of your van and post them to you to fit yourself, so there is no fitting labour and no day off the road in the price. It is panels rather than full coverage, but for a tight budget it is the lowest cost way to look professional on the road.
Is a modular wrap cheaper than a full wrap?
In most cases yes. Because the panels are templated and produced in advance, there is far less labour on the vehicle and far less wasted material, so a modular wrap usually comes in below a traditional full wrap for the same coverage. You also save later, because a single damaged panel can be reprinted and swapped rather than redoing the whole van.
Does the size of the van change the price?
Yes. A long wheelbase, high roof van has much more surface than a small van, so it uses more material and more design and fitting time. That is why we price each job against your exact make, model and year rather than quoting one figure for every van.
How do I get an exact price for my van?
Start an order, pick your vehicle and your style, and you will see pricing built for your make and model, with no obligation. It is the quickest way to a real number that actually fits your van.
